 Poster: A snowHead
|
Last minute prices for Christmas week ski holidays, departing today or this weekend, have collapsed. A combination of snow drought and awkward scheduling - due to Christmas Day falling on a Saturday - has left tour operators selling holidays well below cost.
Prices on offer on Teletext Holidays include many catered holidays at around the £200 level for the week, and one French operator - Ski France - is even offering trips for £145 to users of popular ski website snowHeads.com...
For those willing to accept the prospect of limited skiing, either escaping family and friends or seducing them into the bargain, there's the tantalising prospect of improving pistes and maybe even some powder.
Snow is falling, and new snow is forecast. Check the charts on www.snow-forecast.com and the interactive maps on Meteo France for more details.
We'll add snow forecast links to this thread, and if you have any recommended sources, feel free to post them below.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Interestingly, Airtours seem to have plenty of unsold holidays in Sauze d'Oulx for £154 B&B. Click here. Sauze, and the Milky Way in general, has better conditions than the Alpine average at present, so this is not to be sniffed at.
Mind you, it's better to have the evening meals taken care of.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

These are ridiculous prices 
^ that link that Helen posted - £147 to Tignes or Val d'Isere, going tomorrow! You'd struggle to buy a flight to anywhere for that at this time of year.
Prices for 26 Dec departures don't seem to have been cut by quite so much yet. Expect they will though if the operators don't fill places next week.
All this is really rather depressing when I just forked out over a £grand to go to Whistler in Feb....
